Leave a Review Black People Meet
The free version is not giving much hope.
I was looking forward to using the app but then realized the best features are for the subscription. This isn’t so problematic. It’s the fact that you can’t really experience much of anything unless you are subscribed. Based on the free version, I’m terrified to just subscribe bc even the free features aren’t working like they should. I’ve been getting mutual matches and unable to message them. I’m sure just paying would solve it which is cool but it hasn’t shown enough promise to make me desire the subscription. Also I’m reading the reviews and most people are posting 1-2-3 star reviews. How is it that their average is over 4 stars. This app developer is playing and it seems like greed is the goal, not love. Deleting soon.Show lessDan Met

So you get on here and you can’t see anybody that looks at your profile, sends you messages, or likes you until you pay for the subscription. They trapped me with sending one person that liked me just so I would buy the subscription to see what they looked like and see if the would respond my my message. I still haven’t heard back till this day. I don’t even know if the girl was real. There’s no point in liking someone’s profile if they don’t have a subscription because they can’t see you. I’ve played with the settings like I was advised to do but keep on getting women in Florida, Ohio, and Virginia. The women that I did like with a subscription don’t even respond back. Do I need to look like I got money, or look like Shamar Moore with my shirt off or something? Women on here talking about they would prefer a night at home then going out but they’re pics show them out in street clothes. I’m done. I don’t recommend.Show lessRandom Guy 24/7

I’ve met several men on the site however, many people aren’t truthful about a lot of things. I’ve also been told that many women on the site are not truthful and some are even considered crazy. This site is a great way to meet people but, we must conduct ourselves as adults. Love can be found on this site for some and for others maybe not but, being respectful to one another is an adult way to act/respond.

Profiles
Why am I seeing the same, the very, very, very same wording and paragraphs on multiple multiple multiple peoples pages for that introductory paragraph??? That makes me think that this site is just complete crap, garbage. Are those all fake accounts or what??? I've seen online that your customer service is terrible so can't wait to see what happens with my question. There's no way that five or six or seven different people can have the same exact introductory paragraph and also information all the way through their post.Show lessMary McMillin
Poor Quality
I tried to upload pictures and it took forever to do so. I ended up refreshing the app to see it only posted 1 out of 3 pictures and it made my pictures pixelated. I tried multiple times to post multiple pictures and over and over again it wouldn’t let me upload my pictures. I had to keep exiting/refreshing the app. I then went to look at people to much with and their pictures was extremely pixilated as well. So exhausted and disappointed in this app I tried to delete my profile. It only had “log out”. I found a help option then it said visit the website…. No. Why would I go out my way like that just for a question about the app that I’m on. I just logged out and hope for the best (my account to disappear if I log out) I never write reviews but this was ridiculous and a waist of time. This app is cheaply made and I hope the bugs and quality get fixed. I hate seeing poor quality attached to black people when we deserve top tier apps just like any other dating app.Show lessmuareina

We're always happy to hear from our members!Nothing has changed
1) fake profile 2) people don’t speak 3) play the like game 4) false likes from people who never spoke 5) waste of $20 6) app different from desktop 7) same people from three yrs ago 8) poorly run for a black dating app 9) probably get kicked off after this review (10) have had my profile augmented when in “hidden mode” and saw that I was inviting people to Puerto Rico as a date, interested in men which is a lie because I am not a practicing gay black man which is not my lifestyle. I am so livid at this site that I urge people to do life in the present. False profiles to keep interested and they will not admit that it is part of marketing to keep the cash flowing. Social dating is not what it used to be and this is worse than the others. At least this review cannot be changed by management.Show lessChip's fone

I was using the free version for about 2 weeks and decided to purchase a one month subscription just to see what’s different. For starters, nothing is different. I didn’t have any issues while under the free options. And this is definitely not worth paying for. On the main screen there are people from everywhere of all ages. You have to use the search option to find locals and then filter. After x Ing people showing not interested, they appear right back up in your search. So o cancelled and now I keep getting booted out of my account, error messages and non stop problems. The options are trash anyway. It’s like I’m back in the 80s or something. Just go out and be in somebody’s presence, these apps have all the losers on it and the app developers are their bittch.
Too many hood guys, smokers, drinkers and people with no ambition. It’s like the bottom of the barrel. Guys all over the world instead of the location I stated I seek. Disrespectful when told not interested. The same matches pop up no matter how many times you x them out.
Nothing of substance was really found. The people who were close to decent only had 1 or 2 photos with bare minimum words on the profile.
I tried to show more personality on my profile but the wouldn’t save. I go out and come back in to a different profile from how I left it.Show lesssorhial

Too many incomplete profiles. This is a dating site, so why would you all allow people to have incomplete profiles? There are a lot of profiles that have one photo posted. The daily matches that I receive from Black People Meet, are far from what I’m looking for, so I have no clue as to where y’all are coming up with these potential matches for me. People are typically hundreds of miles away. I’ve been a member for quite some time and I haven’t seen too many good changes while I’ve been on Black People Meet.

Pay to win - my fellow black ppl stay away
This app is all about paying to meet people. You can’t read messages unless you’re paying to read them and you can’t send messages unless your paying for them, and if your paying then the person who you’ve sent a message to can’t see it unless they are paying as well. This dating app structure is solely for making money off black folk. Why would I pay to message if the person might not be paying?
I’ve never seen a business paywall structure as awful as this. Which is why it’s such a cash grab at black ppls wallets.
Match owns this too, so it’s Fs exploitation of our black excellenceShow lessburrell studios
Not impressed
This is my second time using BPM and I’m sorely disappointed. I think what this boils down to is that I’m overqualified to be on this particular app. I’m an educated professional woman who is cerebral, financially stable and at a good place in my life. I am seeking an equally educated partner with a broad life experience. The vast majority of my recommended matches were uneducated blue collar workers who smoke, or use drugs. There was no way to filter potential matches.
My other frustration is the frequency of recycled recommended matches. I would pass on profiles and a few days later, they would be back as a potential match. Also, after setting up my profile, I was unable to change my search distance. This may have decreased the amount of recycled matches.
Lastly, this is the most antiquated app I’ve used. The features are challenging and setting up a quality profile took more time than it should have. I’m guessing this is why most of the profiles I saw had the bare minimum usually just location and a picture or two.
I appreciate having an app dedicated to Black people, it could and should be so much better.Show lessMsKRMiller
